The Motel Survivors are a survivor group formed in Season 1 of The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series. The group was formed after Lee Everett, Clementine, Kenny, and his family agreed to stay together after being kicked out of Hershel Greene's farm.

The group would grow after being saved by Lilly and merging with her own group of survivors at Everett's Prescriptions. Initially led by Lee, Lilly, and Kenny, the group would be faced with several internal and external conflicts that led to the death of several members. Lee eventually became sole leader of the group until the group disbanded after his death.

After the group's disbandment, Clementine would temporarily reunite with Kenny and later face Lilly as an adversary several years after the group's formation.

Post-Apocalypse

Season One

"A New Day"

While on his way to prison, convicted murderer Lee Everett is made a free man in the ensuing chaos of an apocalypse that has brought the fall of society. Soon after, he would meet a young girl named Clementine, separated from her parents who had taken a trip to Savannah, Georgia before the outbreak. Lee and Clementine meet and assist Shawn Greene and Chet or Andre Mitchell (Determinant). In exchange for their help, Shawn offers to take the pair to his father's family farm.

While at the farm, Lee and Clementine meet a man named Kenny, his wife Katjaa, and their son, Duck. While Shawn is fortifying the fence to protect the farm, Duck accidentally runs a tractor on Shawn's foot as walkers reach for both of them. Kenny and Lee (Determinant) save Duck from being bitten, but are unable to save Shawn. Shawn's father, Hershel Greene kicks out everyone from his farm, blaming Kenny and Lee (Determinant) for his son's death. Kenny agrees to drive Lee and Clementine to Macon so Lee can find his family.

Kenny's truck runs out of gas, and they are cornered by walkers until a group stationed at Everett's Prescriptions saves them. Two members of the group, Lilly and her abrasive father Larry, reprimand Carley and Glenn for putting their lives at risk to save strangers. Carley responds that they shouldn't let other people die. Also in the pharmacy is the lookout Doug. Larry notices that Duck has been covered in walker viscera and accuses him of being bitten. Kenny and Lee (Determinant) argue against Larry and Katjaa reveals that Duck was never bitten. Larry soon loses his temper and suffers from serious chest pain due to his heart condition. Lee agrees to help unlock the pharmacy to find medication. Glenn goes off to get gas for Kenny's truck at the nearby Travelier Motel.

Afterward, Lee receives a walkie-talkie call from Glenn, who asks for help after a large group of walkers pins him at the motel. Lee brings Carley to help and the two rescue Glenn. Before leaving, Glenn tells him that another woman is trapped in one of the rooms and insists that they save her. Lee agrees and convinces a reluctant Carley to help her. After dispatching the walkers, the woman in the room introduces herself as Irene. The trio realizes that she has been bitten and Irene uses Lee's gun to commit suicide.

After returning from the motel, Doug and Lee look outside in an attempt to find the pharmacy keys. Lee finds his brother who has reanimated as a walker under a fallen lamp post. Lee tells Doug that the keys are likely on him= and a family photo to convince a skeptical Doug. Lee takes the keys and puts his brother down.

After using the keys to enter the pharmacy, an alarm causes the walkers to storm the pharmacy. Lee is forced to save either Carley or Doug, with the other being devoured by walkers (Determinant). The group returns to the motel and disposes of the walker corpses. Glenn decides to permanently leave for Atlanta in order to find his friends. The group decides to hold out at the motel until the military rolls through. Lilly, Kenny, and Lee look out at the road as the power gets shut off.

Sometime after, the group discovers a man named Mark at a nearby Air Force base. Having managed to lock himself inside one of the commissary storage closets when the base was overrun, Lilly allowed him to stay because he had food.

"Starved For Help"

Three months later, the group begins to starve as the commissary rations begin to dwindle. Lee, Kenny, and Mark stumble upon high school teacher David Parker and two of his students, Ben and Travis, while hunting. If David's leg is amputated, the trio will return with him and Travis will die. If his leg isn't amputated, they will return with Travis and abandon David.

Lee, Kenny, Ben, and Mark return to the Travelier with either Travis or David (Determinant) and are chastised by Lilly and Larry for bringing more mouths to feed. Kenny responds that Lilly isn't their dictator because she rations the food. After food is rationed, Katjaa tells Kenny and Lee that David/Travis didn't make it. As the next steps are discussed, the deceased will reanimate and attack Katjaa, who ultimately survives the encounter. Kenny yells at Ben for not telling the group his friend was bitten. Ben explains to the group that it isn't the bite that causes people to turn and that if the brain isn't damaged, a person will turn, no matter how they die. After this discovery, the group is greeted by brothers Andrew and Danny St. John. The brothers explain that their farm is protected by an electric fence run by a generator and offer to trade their food for gas. Lee, Mark, Ben, and Carley/Doug are sent to check out the farm.

While on the way to the farm, they witness a bandit brutally kill a fellow member for hoarding food. When the brothers' mother, Brenda St. John, reveals their last cow has become sick, Mark excitedly tells the St. Johns that Katjaa is a veterinarian and can treat the cow. Brenda offers to host a dinner in exchange for Katjaa's help. While helping the St. Johns remove walker husks from their electric fences, Mark is injured by an arrow shot by an ambushing group of bandits. Lee and Mark manage to retreat back to the farm. The rest of the motel group arrives at the farm and the St. Johns reveal that they give food to the bandits in exchange for protection. The brothers stage a retaliation against the bandits, but are suddenly confronted by Jolene, who accuses the brothers of being monsters. Jolene is killed before she can elaborate further.

As the group prepare to eat dinner, Lee sneaks upstairs and discovers a legless Mark. Mark tells Lee that it was the brothers who amputated him and warns him not to eat the dinner. Lee runs downstairs and stops the others from taking another bite, revealing that the St. Johns are cannibals. The St. Johns imprison everyone in the slaughter room except Duck and Katjaa..

The stress of the situation causes Larry to have a heart attack. While Lilly tries to resuscitate Larry, Kenny is afraid that Larry will reanimate and kill the others. Kenny uses a salt lick to smash Larry's head in. Afterwards, Clementine crawls through and unlocks the door from the outside. With the group now being free, they put Danny's leg in a bear trap and are either spared or killed by Lee (Determinant). After dealing with Danny, Lee goes inside the house and finds Brenda holding Katjaa hostage. Lee gets a terrified Brenda to slowly move upstairs toward a reanimated Mark at the top of the staircase. Brenda backs into Mark and is bitten, freeing Katjaa from her grasp. Andrew holds Duck at gunpoint and shoots at Kenny. Lee defends himself from Andrew and mercilessly beats him. Andrew is either killed by Lee or shown mercy (Determinant).

After leaving the farm, the group ventures back to the motel and finds an abandoned station wagon stocked with food and supplies. Clementine will point out that the wagon must belong to someone and shouldn't take it. Despite some reservations, the group ransacks the station wagon.

"Long Road Ahead"

The Motel Survivors continue to live in the motel, surviving off the supplies taken from the station wagon while scavenging for more in Macon. With the St. John Dairy overrun by walkers, the bandits who had dealt with the farmers turned their attention to the motel, consistently harassing them with bullets and bolts from afar. The survivors' experience at the dairy and the constant threat of the bandits reaffirmed Kenny's belief that the group needed to leave the motel as soon as he finished work on the RV. He and Lilly continued to argue over his desire to leave, unsettling the other survivors. Unbeknownst to the group at large, Ben was manipulated into giving the bandits medicine in exchange for his friend.

Lilly instructed each of the adults to carry guns with them at all times during a period of uneasy peace, a policy that disturbs Katjaa. Lee and Kenny serve as primary supply runners, leaving Ben to sometimes serve as lookout during the day.

Following a supply run that saw Lee and Kenny encounter a screaming woman in Macon, Lilly and Kenny begin another argument about approaching survival with winter on the horizon. An increasingly frustrated Lilly snaps at Kenny with the allegation that someone in the group had been stealing their supplies before shutting herself off from everyone else in her motel room. Later, Lee returns to Lilly to follow up on her accusation that one of the survivors had betrayed them. He agrees to investigate her claim when she presents a broken flashlight to him as evidence, as no one had reported breaking it and she had found it discarded in the dumpster.

Other survivors generally tend to be on their own time during the quiet, save for Duck, who overheard Lee's discussion with Lilly and assists him during his investigation. After Lee discovers a chalk-drawn sign on the far wall of the motel, Duck discovers a discarded piece of chalk near the dumpsters at their constructed barrier wall. Lee decides to search outside their fortifications, a search that takes him to the front-facing wall when he notices something hidden behind a ventilation grate. There, he discovers a hidden stash of medicines, confirming Lilly's claim that someone had been stealing from them.

While Lee goes to report his findings to Lilly, the bandits stage a raid on the survivors in retaliation for not receiving the supplies Lee had taken. A group of four bandits quickly manages to capture everyone else in the motel, holding them out in the parking lot at gunpoint. Lilly orders Lee outside to stall while she sets up with her rifle on the second floor. She shoots the leader of the raid party while Lee has them distracted, whereupon Carley takes his gun to shoot two others or Doug picks up his gun to shoot one while Lee shoots another depending on which one is alive. (Determinant) The fourth bandit manages to escape over the wall, allowing him to signal to the rest of his force hiding in the woods to attack the motel.

Several bandits breach the motel's fortifications in short order while the survivors within scramble in disarray. Walkers begin to filter into the area and attack Katjaa and Duck. More walkers enter the motel area in uncontrolled numbers, but Kenny manages to finally get the vehicle in working order thanks to Doug's help. Seeing the motel overrun and the bandits fighting the walkers all around the area, Lilly accepts that their home is lost, racing to the RV before it takes off, leaving the motel behind for good.

Several survivors frantically try to process what had just happened, having just lost most of their supplies and their home. Kenny and his family sit in the front focusing on the road while the others reside in the rear. Lilly announces Lee's discovery of a hidden stash and immediately accuses Ben/Carley of working with the bandits. While deliberating, Kenny accidentally runs over a walker, leaving it trapped under their RV and forcing them to stop.

The survivors are forced to stop as Kenny goes to deal with the walker, Lilly ordering Lee, Ben and Carley/Doug to exit the vehicle as she continues to press for a confession. (Determinant) She quickly calls for a vote to expel Ben from the group, making him panic and forcing Carley/Doug to defend him. (Determinant) If Carley is with the group, Lilly decides that she is the traitor and murders her in a fit of rage while the others are distracted. If Doug is with the group, Lilly decides that Ben is the traitor and tries to shoot him, but Doug pulls Ben out of the way, inadvertently putting his head in front of the gun as Lilly shoots, killing him instantly and horrifying Lilly. Lee immediately subdues Lilly and forces her to drop the gun. Kenny calls for Lee to leave Lilly behind preparing to leave in the RV. Lilly tries to defend her actions as justified or an accident depending on who she had just killed.

Lee can make the decision about whether to allow her back into the RV or let Kenny's decision to leave her stand. Kenny brands her a murderer after Lee decides, leading Lilly to deflect to Lee's murder conviction from before the outbreak. Kenny either disregards her deflection if Lee had made him aware already or takes a moment to process the news before ultimately deciding that it did not affect Lilly's situation. The other survivors collect their things and get back into the RV. If Lilly was left behind, Lee watches as she notices the walkers behind her and begins to run off. If Lilly was allowed back into the RV, Lee binds her hands behind her back and gives Ben Lilly's gun to guard her.

As the RV drives down the road, Katjaa calls Lee up to the front of the vehicle. She and Kenny quietly reveal to him that Duck had bitten during their escape, wanting him to be aware while they progress toward the coastline. Due to their limited experience with bite victims, Lee accepts their decision to keep going in the RV, agreeing to let Clementine know what had happened to their son. At the late hour, he explains to her what had happened with Duck and Lilly before drifting off to sleep.

He is awoken by a nightmare several hours later about Clementine attacking him as a walker, coming to right as Kenny alerts him that their road was blocked. The RV parks outside of a stopped train with several derailed freight cars, letting everyone out except for Lilly. (Determinant) Lee and Ben search the area while Kenny takes a break following his long drive through the night, Katjaa and the children remaining close to him. In the engine car, Ben deactivates the brakes on the train, letting the engine hiss to signal that it was still functional. Kenny becomes excited when Lee presents to him a route map that indicates the train line ends in Savannah, (Determinant) wanting to get the train moving so they could get to the coastline faster than the RV could take them.

As Lee sets about getting the train running again, he finds a notepad that had previously contained instructions to fire up the engine, but the writing has been torn out, leaving only indentations behind. He finds a pencil in the RV to use to trace over the indentations.

If Lee allowed Lilly back into the RV the previous night: Lilly reveals herself to have broken free of her bonds. Depending on their relationship, Lilly can either tell Lee that she could have killed him from behind or ask him if he wants to join her in taking the RV and leaving the group behind. If they have a negative relationship or Lee refuses to go with her, Lilly throws him out the door. If Lee agrees to go with her, she directs him to go get Clementine so the three of them could leave, but then starts the engine as soon as Lee leaves. Either way, Lilly spares one final glance for her former group before turning the RV around and driving off alone, Kenny and Lee unable to stop her. Kenny can later state his doubts that the RV would make it much further, suggesting that the train would have been their only option to make it to the coast anyway.

This next part is non-determinant and happens regardless of the player's choices.

Lee manages to make the indentations on the notepad visible, then uses it to restart the engine. Kenny and Lee test out the thrust on the engine, but the train remains stuck, leading them to realize that it was still coupled to the derailed freight cars. As Lee goes to see about uncoupling the train cars with a handheld tool from the engine car, a homeless man who had been living in the train reveals himself to the rest of the group, offering his final boxes of candy to Ben and the children. He introduces himself to Lee as Chuck after Lee uncouples the derailed cars. Prepared to leave, Kenny directs the group to board the remaining freight car, brusquely disregarding Clementine pointing out Duck's worsening state. Chuck decides to go with them since they were taking his freight car, climbing into it with the others. Kenny and Lee use the thrust again, finally getting the train moving down the tracks.

A few hours later, Duck's condition deteriorates to the point that Katjaa realizes that it is time for them to put him out of his misery. She asks Lee to get Kenny to stop the engine, which he agrees to do as the others somberly remain behind. Kenny refuses to listen to Lee at first, unwilling to accept that his son was dying. Depending on how Lee tries to convince him, he either provokes Kenny into a fight or gets through to him by realizing that Kenny still blamed himself for Shawn's death at the start of the outbreak. Regardless of how their discussion goes, Lee ultimately gets Kenny to pull the brakes.

Returning to his family, Kenny officially informs Ben and Chuck that Duck had been bitten. Still unable to fully process what was happening, Kenny is slow to accept Katjaa saying that they had to shoot their son. The two of them argue over which one of them should be the one to do it, giving Lee the option of supporting either of them or offering to be the one to pull the trigger. If Lee does not offer to do it himself, Katjaa convinces Kenny that it has to be her, deciding to take Duck away into the woods so that Clementine did not have to see it happen. Lee explains to Clementine what is happening as Katjaa disappears into the brush, (Determinant) then decides to go with Kenny to retrieve Katjaa after they hear a gunshot. Alternatively, if Lee offered to shoot Duck himself, Kenny and Katjaa accept his offering, deciding to take Duck into the forest to say their goodbyes before allowing Lee to take care of him alone. He explains to Clementine what they were doing with Duck, (Determinant) but is interrupted by a sudden gunshot in the woods and Kenny's cry of despair. (Determinant) Lee rushes to investigate what had happened. (Determinant)

Regardless of whether or not Katjaa agreed to let Lee shoot Duck, she has decided to commit suicide rather than outlive her son. Kenny is devastated by his wife's death, his grief settling on Duck as he sees him dying nearby. Numb as he takes Katjaa's gun, Kenny asks Lee what they should do now. Lee has the option of taking the gun to shoot Duck himself or allowing Kenny to raise the gun on his own. If Kenny takes the gun, Lee can either reassure him, order him to do it or remain silent, the latter of which results in Kenny failing to pull the trigger and guiltily deciding to just leave his son to turn. Alternatively, either Lee or Kenny can shoot Duck in the head, preventing him from reanimating. The two of them leave the bodies of Kenny's family behind, returning to the train and getting it back in motion.

Later in the day, Chuck convinces Lee to help prepare Clementine for survival as they traveled. He trains her to shoot a pistol, cuts her hair and forms a plan with her about what they should do when they arrive in Savannah. In between his discussions with Clementine, Ben quietly admits to Lee that he had in fact been the one giving the bandits their supplies, which Lee can react to with threats or with some level of understanding. After Lee finishes preparing with Clementine, Kenny hurriedly pulls the brakes on the train again, finding another obstacle impeding their path.

The train stops directly in front of an overpass, blocked by a fuel tanker dangling from the bridge. Kenny frustratedly dismisses Ben's suggestion that they just continue on foot, then pessimistically argues with Chuck over their chances of dealing with the tanker. Before their discussion can escalate further, they are interrupted by a greeting from a pair of people on top of the overpass. Lee volunteers to climb up to the overpass to check out the strangers, learning that they are a couple traveling on their own named Omid and Christa. After Clementine climbs up to meet them as well, Lee determines that they are friendly and invites them down to the train to meet the others. The two newcomers offer their help in trying to clear the tanker, but insist that they have no other commitments beyond that. Christa suggests that one of them investigate the train station nearby for anything that might help.

Omid follows Kenny into the engine car to learn what he knows about conducting the train while Christa sits down with Clementine to get to know her more. Ben climbs the freight car to stand watch as Chuck idly strums his guitar nearby, leaving Lee to look around the area. Lee can speak to the newcomers about their experiences, which can see him learn about Christa being the one who generally kept Omid safe by keeping the two of them away from groups like his. If Lee speaks to Christa, she asks about Clementine being allowed to hold onto her walkie-talkie, leading Lee to inform her that it was broken and only carried for sentimental reasons.

When Lee decides to search the station, he allows Clementine to accompany him. The two of them work together for the first time out on their own, managing to unlock the station's front door. Lee is forced to prop the door open using the handheld tool he used to uncouple the train in order to be able to see inside the station. On the other side of a locked gate, he sees a blowtorch, describing it as exactly what they needed. (Determinant) He boosts Clementine up over the gate, but is attacked by a pair of walkers before she can let him through the other side, dropping his gun. Despite the ambush, Lee is able to recover the handheld tool and use it as a weapon to kill both walkers. He notices Clementine shakily holding his fallen gun, having been unable to shoot at either walker in the moment. He tries to reassure her, but discovers a third walker on her side of the locked gate, calling for her to get it open immediately. She retrieves the gate key and gives it to him, letting him open the gate, take the gun from her and shoot the walker dead.

Hearing the gunshot, Christa rushes over to the station as Lee calms down Clementine. She enters to find the three dead walkers around them, skeptically commenting on Lee's decision to take Clementine inside the building. Lee can defend his decision or not, but Christa grimly decides to leave them alone either way, remarking that she hoped he knew what he was doing with Clementine. Lee picks up the blowtorch and prepares to depart the station as well, asking Clementine what they had learned from this experience. She dejectedly states that she was not ready for a gun, giving Lee the option of offering a different lesson or not before they return to the train.

When Lee decides it is time to deal with the tanker, he joins Omid as he is waiting for him on top of the overpass. They discover that the blowtorch hose is tattered when they hear it leaking, forcing Lee to use a roll of police tape to patch it up. He uses the blowtorch on the coupling connecting the tanker to the truck, nearly being knocked off the overpass when the truck rolls backward if not for Omid pulling him out of harm's way. To cut through the rest of the coupling, Lee has Omid reach out over the edge of the bridge while counterbalancing him.

As Omid cuts through the coupling, Ben calls out a warning, seeing a massive herd of walkers approaching from the direction the train had come, likely accumulated by the noise of the train engine. The other survivors hurriedly board the train as the coupling finally detaches, the tanker falling down out of the way of the tracks and leaking fuel, but destroying the ladder leading back down to the ground in the process. Lee calls for Kenny to get the train moving anyway, then kicks the still-active blowtorch over the edge of the overpass into the leaking fuel. (Determinant)

Lee and Omid are forced to jump from the overpass down to the freight car as it moves down the tracks. While Lee lands safely, Omid injures his leg on impact, falling off the train with the herd closing in. Christa jumps off the train to rescue him, then runs with him to make it back onto the train before it leaves them behind. Lee can help either one inside of the freight car or not, receiving initial scorn from whomever he helps for not helping the other first or a general insult from Christa if he fails to help either one of them. Regardless of what Lee does, both of them make it onto the train before it speeds away from the herd, with Omid lamenting to Lee and Clementine about his leg injury.

The survivors ride the train throughout the rest of the night, preparing to arrive in Savannah the following morning. As dawn breaks, Lee peacefully sits with a sleeping Clementine in the engine car. He notices a drawing in her backpack, taking it out to see it was her rendering of Kenny, Katjaa and Duck. He regretfully puts it back after Kenny steps into the engine car, quietly commenting that they were nearly to the coastline. Lee shares with Kenny the plan that he had made with Clementine for when they arrived in Savannah. Kenny either agrees with it if their plan was to help find a boat or derides it if Lee had made different plans to either search for Clementine's parents or split off from the group on their own. Lee can them comment on what they had been through over the past two days, stating that he wished they could go back to arguing over the motel, (Determinant) with Kenny sorrowfully agreeing. (Determinant)

Lee tells Kenny that he would leave him to his thoughts, but after he remarks on Clementine still being sound asleep, her walkie-talkie buzzes. Lee and Kenny are shocked when an unknown man on the radio contacts Clementine by name and expresses excitement over her coming to Savannah, claiming that he has her parents with him so that she would go find him with or without Lee. Lee realizes that Clementine must have been speaking with this stranger for some time, afraid that he has convinced her that he is friendly when he may have ulterior motives. Kenny either advises Lee to rethink his plan for when they get to Savannah or indicates that he expects trouble when they arrive. The train continues down the tracks toward Savannah as Lee ponders what lies ahead.

"Around Every Corner"

When they got into Savannah, they get trapped in a zombie trap which were Church bells rung by a mysterious girl and Chuck was killed in the trap while the rest of the survivors found a mansion to hole up in. After, Kenny and Lee went out to find a boat where they encountered the girl who introduced herself as Molly after she almost killed Lee when if it wasn't for the interference by Clementine. But just then they trapped by a group of walkers and Kenny, Clementine and Molly climbed up to the fire escape, but Lee had to jump into the sewer just to escape where he encounters a group exiled from Crawford. This group's two members; Vernon and Brie, came back to the mansion with Lee to help Omid. After, the group came up with a plan to sneak into Crawford and steal their supplies, they agreed with the plan and decided to wait until night. When they entered Crawford, they learned that the place was overrun and collect all the supplies needed to fix the boat. While escaping the abandoned school, if Lee doesn't help Ben, he could die by falling off the top of Crawford bell tower and being devoured by zombies. Later, Vernon betrays the survivors by stealing the boat along his fellow Cancer Group survivors.

"No Time Left"

After Crawford's expedition Molly decides to leave the group to survive for herself and Vernon decides to get back to his group, Clementine was kidnapped by a strange man. Lee (who was recently bitten), Kenny, Omid, Christa and Ben start to find her. But, if he was saved in the previous episode, Ben died by falling from a mansion balcony and getting impaled through the abdomen (Determinant) and Kenny disappear and is presumed dead (if Ben is still alive, he'll be trapped in an alley surrounded of walkers, else, he'll apparently sacrifice himself to save Christa from an infested warehouse). Lee, Omid and Christa came upon The Marsh House, but got separated and Lee decided to risk it and walk through the herd and continue alone to find her. He finds her and the strange man in a room and confront the latter, who seems to know him, reminding all his choices through the game. As the strange man is killed either by Lee or Clementine, the remaining two members of the group left the Marsh House by covering themselves in a walker's guts. In the end, Lee died and Clementine is left alone before she is found and taken in by Christa and Omid.
